Whom do you tell a story to? Yourself? A crowd?

Whom do you tell a story to? Yourself? A crowd?

Preachers tell stories to a crowd. If they are good, a crowd gathers to hear them. You can tell stories to yourself, to an imaginary friend, a doll, a pet or even a baby brother or sister who can’t follow the words but likes the sounds.

You can tell a story to a teacher, a group, or a class; even to a whole school, though for that you would need to build up your voice volume. You can tell a story to a friend, a group of friends old or new, or a storytelling club, if you join or visit one. You can tell a story at home to one or two of your family members or at a bigger family gathering, like on holiday, at Christmas or other Festivals.

You can even tell a story to someone who is not listening, and practise for the time when someone will. You can even tell a story to someone who is bullying you or others. You can also listen to a story in a foreign language. You can even learn enough of another language, including signing for the deaf, to be able to tell a story to someone who has that language.
